Welcome to extremenomads.life – a blog for adrenaline junkies, outdoor adventurers, travel lovers and mad monkeys with a thing for good vibes.

We cover all things extreme sports and travel; as well as more traditional activities like hiking, diving, or cycling. You can explore our content either by destination in our travel category, or by activity in our sports category.

We specialize in destination guides covering specific activities in interesting regions, for example these guides to the best wake parks in Asia, the best kitesurfing spots in Sri Lanka, or the best hikes in Ireland, but we also zero in on all the outdoor activities available in a specific spot, like our monster guides to Hua Hin in Thailand, Phan Rang in Vietnam, or Siargao in Philippines.

To reach a specific country or sport directly, use our top menu by hovering over (desktop), or clicking on (mobile) each section.

Finally, we also love reviewing and testing products / services in both sports and tech that we think our readers will be stoked with, and you’ll find this content in the reviews category. Our most popular articles there so far are definitely a complete test of the latest GoPro Hero 7 Black, what we think are the best watersports sunglasses on the market, and this massive overview of the best surf camps in Bali.

We hope you enjoy our content; and if you’re interested in what’s happening behind the scenes, you can follow us either on Facebook, any of our social accounts below, or subscribe to our newsletter by filling in the form at the bottom of this page (or when exiting the site).

We’ve got a bit of an Indian summer on our hands here in southwest Ireland! And gad daaaaamn these blue sky days are too perfect for paddle boarding. Here’s Jim exploring one of our new favourites — Baltimore, County Cork. That’s the Baltimore Beacon in the background; it was built, not as a lighthouse, but for its white colour to act as a warning to approaching ships. Pretty wild looking thing — will post a close up soon! . . . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . . . #standuppaddle #suping #standuppaddling #suplife #standupjournal #standuppaddleboarding #watersportsnation #watersportsaddict #baltimoreireland #westcork #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwaycork #inspireland_ #ig_ireland #irelandpassion #discoverireland #corkireland #cork_daily #baltimorebeacon #igers_ireland #instaireland #irelandgram #loveireland #irelanddaily #travelireland #adventureseeker #exploremoreoutdoors
 Homecoming // .. .. A dark An inky blue So heavy you can hear it and it blots out the havoc of a day lived hard, A silence So deep it’s a din And it rings in your ears long after the last call was cried, A hill Of heather and hoof That belongs to no one — no mammal or man, An ancient land Of fathers, and their fathers’ fathers, Turf laden with megaliths and magic and circles of stone, And with a gut full of pints and promise You stumble home On the Wild Atlantic Way. . . // connecting with my home and feeling the magic of West Cork ✨ ✍️ extract from a new poetry series, more soon // . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . . . #sheepsheadway #bantrybay #wildatlanticway #wildatlanticwaycork #westcork #westcorkexplorer #rawireland #realireland #irelanddaily #irelandpassion #discoverireland #failteireland #irelandoutdoors #nextstopnature #greettheoutdoors #igersireland #thefullirish_ #raw_ireland #adventureenthusiasts #wanderireland #ig_cork #ireland_gram #corknowmagazine #earthoutdoors10k #perfect_europe #traveldreamseekers #wearepangaea #exploreoutdoors #widenyourworld
 Mister Gumbo from Negombo (not really, he’s from Thailand) sending ittttt on the butter flat waters that surround Vella Island, Sri Lanka (see where I was going with the rhyming thing? No? Okay stopping now, promise 😬). .. .. Vella is one of about half a dozen INSANE kite spots along Sri Lanka’s windswept westerly coast. Its reliable, strong wind, flat water and perfect wave mix, unspoiled scenery, cheap cost of living, and phenomenal food make it one of the best kite spots in Asia (if not the world). .. .. We’ve got ALL you need to know about travelling to + kitesurfing in Sri Lanka up on our blog — the link is in our bio. .. .. Have a question about kite spots in Sri Lanka?

 🇹🇭✨ TRAVEL TIPS FOR PRANBURI, THAILAND 👇🏽 . . WHERE IT IS: 3.5 hours south of Thailand’s crrrrazy capital, Bangkok. . . WHY GO? It’s one of the best kitesurfing spots in Thailand, for one! It’s a quiet, relatively untouristy town on the western side of the gulf. Because foreign tourism is still fairly undeveloped there, the beaches are friggin’ pristine — and often empty. No wind days are ideal for SUPing (either on the sea or down the sinuous river) and the hills of the nearby national park make for epic hiking adventures. There’s also a 2.0 cable park in town for all you wakeboarding addicts! The locals rock, the food is insanely good (and cheap), and there’s a brood of underground DJs like @bonita.everitt and @martin_everitt making beats and throwing parties your grandkids won’t believe you were ever crazy/cool enough to attend . . WHEN TO GO: Nov-April makes up the high season, during which time there’s very little rain and generally awesome sunny warm weather. For kiting, wind is on during those same months—peaking from Feb-May when the consistent thermals kick in.HOW TO GET THERE: Fly into Bangkok and take either a private vehicle (easy, fast, but pricey enough at $75) or the VIP shuttle bus straight from the airport to Hua Hin ($8), and from there a taxi to Pranburi ($15). . . Happy weekend, hippy children 🌈 if you’ve got questions about visiting Pranburi, shoot them at us down thurrr 👇🏽 . . . . . . . #extremenomads . . . . . . . #pranburi #thailandtravel #thailandtips #travelinthailand #welovethailand #prachuapkhirikhan #traveladvice #exploreseasia #southeastasiatravel #visitthailand #discoverthailand #tourismthailand #tourismauthorityofthailand #thailandonly #thailandinstagram #instathailand #igersthailand #inspiringwanderers #sheisnotlost #womenwhowander #femaletraveller #femmetravel #exploreobserveshare #girlswhotraveltheworld #suitcasetravels
